Yeah I have seen some killer deals on them lately and thatís what makes me want to get back into one.

I converted my last one to the euro naked.

Nice. The naked and the FZ were what made me recently pick up a left over GSX-S1000. Loved my old FZ, love this one more.

Re: any FZ1 out there?

I've got an 06 I'm not overly attached to.

JMZ- My online experience has been that 1st gen owners are quite proud of their bikes and insist that the 2nd gen was an unnecessary change on a perfect original design. But I like mine. It's way nicer than my ninja 300 but I miss my SV1000S more.

To me they were completely different bikes. Both had ample power and were reasonably comfortable. With out getting the OP's thread way off track discussing the differences between them I will just generalize and say I found the GenI to be more comfortable for long rides and the GenII to have a slight edge performance wise being a sportier ride. Since then the GenII has moved on to a new owner and no more than my wife is riding now the GenI may end up leaving to.:argh:
